Abstract

The dispersion relation for gravitational instability has been given within the framework of a two-fluid theory. It has been shown that the Jeans criterion is changed by finite Larmor radius and by collisions for waves propagating perpendicular to the magnetic field. The critical wavenumber for instability decreases with increasing Alfvén velocity and with increasing gyroviscosity. Instability does not set in with overstabiity.
